From the Roman times to the Middle Ages everyone ate in the middle of the day, but it was called dinner and was the main meal of the day.
In the early to mid 17th century the meal could be any time between late morning and mid afternoon. During the late 17th and 18th centuries, this meal was gradually pushed back into the evening, creating a greater time gap between breakfast and dinner. A meal called lunch came to fill the gap.
It was the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, that helped shape lunch as we know it today. Middle and lower class eating patterns were defined by working hours. Many were working long hours in factories and to sustain them a noon-time meal was essential.
